Let the normal canal width of 37m be flumed to 16.90 m

Providing a splay of 2:1 in contraction, the length of contraction transition =
Lin = ((Bc - Bf)/2)*2 (m) 20.1 m
Providing a splay of 3:1 in Expansion, the length of expansion transition =
Lout = ((Bc - Bf)/2)*3 (m) 30.2 m

3.0 Calculation of Head loss and bed levels at different sections

At section 4 - 4 ( the canal section returns to its normal section)
Area (A) = (b+m*h)*h = 135.89 m2
V4 = Q/A = 0.893 m/s
Velocity head (h4) = (V /2*g ) =
4
2
0.041 m
R.L. of bed at 4 - 4 = 470.870 m
R.L. of water surface at 4 - 4 = 474.116 m
R.L. of T.E.L. at 4 -4 = 474.156 m

At section 3 - 3
Keeping the same depth of water3.25m throughout in the canal
Area (A) = (b-t*Nw)*d= 51.93 m2
V3 = Q/A = 2.338 m/s
Velocity head (h3) = (V /2*g ) =
3
2
0.279 m
Loss of head in expansion from 3 - 3 to 4 - 4
= 0.30*(V32 - V42)/(2*g) 0.071 m
R.L. of T.E.L. at 3 - 3 = 474.228 m
R.L. of water surface at 3 - 3 = 473.949 m
R.L. of bed at 3 - 3 = 470.703 m

At section 2 - 2
Area (A) of trough section = (b-n*0.30)*h = 51.93 m2
Wetted Perimeter (P) = (b+2*h) = 23.09 m
V2 = Q/A = 2.338 m/s
Velocity head (h2) = (V /2*g ) =
2
2
0.279 m
Loss of head from 3 - 3 to 2 - 2
Hydraulic mean depth R =(A/P) = 2.249 m
Velocity in Tough V = (1/n)*R2/3*S1/2
where h is rugosity coefficient whose value in concrete 0.016
Therefore, frictional slope ' S' = 0.000 m/m
or S' = 1 in 2106.03487
Loss of head in Trough = 0.042 m
R.L. of T.E.L. at 2 - 2 = 474.270 m
R.L. of water surface at 2 - 2 = 473.991 m
R.L. of bed at 2 - 2 = 470.746 m

At section 1 - 1
Loss of head in contraction from 1 - 1 to 2 - 2
= 0.20*(V22 - V12)/(2*g) 0.048 m
R.L. of T.E.L. at 1 -1 = 474.317 m
R.L. of water surface at 1 - 1 = 474.277 m
R.L. of bed at 1 - 1 = 471.031 m
